The price was half a year ago, at 16 percent and in November 2024 it was at 22 percent. The results have been made public for the upcoming G7 and NAVO topping. According to the other zooekers, he has a “diep Europees wantrouwen tegenover de Verenigde Staten”.
The survey will be carried out in May 2026 by people in many European countries in the Netherlands, Germany and France, Scandinavia, South Europe and the United Kingdom. In all other countries there is a better world in the era of the United States of Europe, which has an effect on the world.
“Overall on the continent is the duidelijke steun voor het diminishen van de afhankelijkheid van Washington,” aldus Jana Kobzová, co-author and senior policy fellow at ECFR. “European staan steeds are open for higher defense-uitgaven and, cruciaal, tonen and opvallend groot trustrouwen dat buurlanden hen te hulp zouden schieten in a crisis.”
European defense
Tegelijk large stone for sea European defense-spanningen. Europeans have already paid extra money to defend themselves after a year. Alleen in Italië blijft a duidelijke meerderheid tegen higher military uitgaven.
Bijna de help van the respondenten (47 percent) steunt het idea dat de Europese Unie collected money leent om defenseprojecten te financien. Vooral in Portugal (59 percent), Denemarken (56 percent) and Netherlands (55 percent) is the largest share.
Also the Roep is less attached to the American weapon systems and is always luider. In the sea of Denemarken, the Netherlands and Zweden, the whole of Europe has its own military material available. Poland in front of the opvallende uitzondering: there is a seaside net voorstander van extra aankopen van Amerikaanse wapens. In Germany, Italy and Hong Kong, the meningen are very good.
Saving is easy
Hoewel de steun voor defensie stijgt, blijft de weerstand tegen besparingen op sociale uitgaven bigroot. Voor in Italy (63 percent), East Rijk (59 percent) and Germany (56 percent) people will not have the inland overheidsuitgaven to benefit from higher defense budgets.
Ook over energy blijft Europe verdeeld. This is 44 percent of the energy supply and the production of oil and gas import from Russia, thanks to the existing energy prices.
Steun voor Oekraïne blijft
The European Union is considered a strategic partner. The steun decreases when the gaat is over the stubbornness of the vredestroepen on the oorlog of a verdere uitbreiding van de Europeanse Unie towards the east.
Opvallend: in all countries Bulgaria thinks a better world of relations between Europe and the United States, and everyone loves Donald Trump for a long time.
